Clarification

The Official Gazette has had a complete transformation, from a publisher which was first of all oriented to publishing of legal texts and their interpretation, to publishing of the most important works from social sciences and arts. The scheduled development vision is accomplished successfully by publishing the main works of our and foreign scientists. These are the works dealing with the political theory, sociology and philosophy and thereby also the most relevant matters of democracy and civil society. A special value of the edition is that our society's drama is analyzed in several successful research books.


The Publishing Project
The monograph Morava is an extraordinary and complex multimedia picture of one of the most important Serbian waters. The rewarded book is a scientifically precise and artistic exciting description of this river – symbol and its place in the Serbian history and culture.


The Library Agora, published by Clio already since many years, consists of carefully selected and in a modern way written books about the current problems. It includes properly based theoretical, cultural, social, political and psychological discussions on the significant matters of the contemporary man and society. Agora teaches us the dialog culture and opens new spiritual views for us.


The Edition Answers by the Author Miloš Jevtić
Miloš Jevtić, a long aged editor and master of ceremonies of the show The Second Program Guest, left a great sound archive in Radio Belgrade, with more than seven hundred discussions with eminent scientists and artists. From such a sound archive, in 157 books, Jevtić created the edition Answers, a unique testimony of our era, extremely important for our culture.

Clarification

In a fascinating offer of the exhibitors at this year's International Belgrade Book Fair, the exhibitor from Belgrade, the Publishing Company Clio, was pointed out by a unique and refined approach to the visitor, i. e. reader.

Unlike other exhibitors, this stand looks almost empty, to the minimum. But, this is so just at first sight. Here, the market power and a rich publishing work were not shown by attractive structures and overfull shelves.

The book is here put ahead and any intermediary between the reader (visitor) and the books has been completely removed.

The architectural, painting, marketing, event the ergonomic approach stress this exhibitor above any others. Positioned in the central hall, with a simple black portal and white letters, the stand just takes the visitors in into a reduced monochromatic space of the book temple. The empty space philosophy gets here its full expression. A simple white wall with a dominating white book in its space makes a visitor come closer and take the book into his hands. The essence of such approach shows the basis of the Book Fair itself, where the book is in the focus, into which it takes a prospect reader, as well.

This year, Clio has demonstrated that modesty and low funds can create efficient exhibiting results. The total visual impression of the stand, the marketing philosophy, the quality of the advertising materials, the kindness and well informing of the staff, make it the exhibitor with the best fair presentation.
